(Photo credit: Filmofilia.com)

The WFLDP has issued a reading challenge for Richard Phillips’ and Stephen Talty’s, "A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALS, and Dangerous Days at Sea" which chronicles Captain Phillips’ leadership under fire during the hijacking of his cargo ship the Maersk Alabama by Somali pirates in 2009. The intent is to read and discuss the book throughout the summer and fall. As a capstone to the discussion, readers will be encouraged to venture into the Leadership in Cinema realm and watch and discuss Paul Greengrass’ "Captain Phillips" scheduled for release in October 2013.
